Ingredients
Scale
1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into chunks

2 tbsp curry powder
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 (13.5 oz) can full-fat coconut milk
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 baking dish.

- Adjust spice level by using mild or hot curry powder.
- Add vegetables like cauliflower or spinach in the last 10 minutes of baking.
